New piece from 404 Media: Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”

On a related note, Baldur Bjarnason has chimed in noting how he called this exact shit happening:

Remember when I told you that using these LLMs was like giving US tech a bigotry dial for all your writing?

You're dead right on that.

On a wider front, I expect the bubble's burst will deal some long-lasting damage to the tech industry, on two major fronts:

  1. Evaluations/stock prices will go through the floor, as investor assumptions of Endless Growth^tm^ are shattered, and the tech industry comes to be seen as "a stable, mature industry whose days of endless growth are behind it" (quoting Baldur Bjarnason), at best and deep in the throes of a serious malaise era at worst. One outcome is obviously better than the other, but both will lead to a lotta pain.

  2. The tech industry's public image, already in the shitter for a litany of reasons, will likely take another significant blow as the industry's ability to generate hype for AI and/or counteract the boiling resentment towards it completely falls apart.

For the enterprise using it, yes. For the enterprise selling it, probably not so much.
